Price after bullpen: Best I felt all year"

Rays LHP David Price threw a 45-pitch bullpen session on Monday and said after it was "the best I felt all year.''

Price threw several curveballs during the session, which was divided into two "innings.''

He said he felt as if the triceps strain that landed him on the DL since mid-May never happened and that this is the best he felt even going back to spring training.

Price will throw another bullpen session on Wednesday and then a simulated game on Saturday before heading out on a three-start rehab assignment, according to manager Joe Maddon. That puts Price in line to rejoin the Rays either in late June or early July.
